2025 Haircut of the Year winner Ricky Hodge is a celebrity hairstylist, fashion icon, and one of the most authentic humans I've ever sat across from. He pivoted into cosmetology in his late 30s after selling his grandparents' real life ‘Schitt’s Creek’ motels. Today, he has a roster of high-profile clients and at 57 years old, has amassed a social following closing in on 1M. His personal brand is so distinctive it basically has its own gravitational pull.
